Staff Product Manager (Integrations)

• Sprout Social is seeking an experienced Product Manager to own the strategy, delivery, and scaling of our partner and platform integration ecosystem
• This role sits at the center of a critical shift for Sprout: moving from bespoke, one-off partner integrations toward a scalable, platform-based integration model that reduces engineering lift per partner while expanding the ecosystem of systems that connect to Sprout
• This is an individual contributor role requiring deep technical fluency in integration architecture (APIs, managed packages, platform events, OAuth/permission models) paired with strong commercial judgment on what’s worth building, for whom, and when
• Sprout empowers businesses worldwide to harness the immense power and opportunity of social media in today’s digital-first world
• Processing over one billion social messages daily, our platform serves up essential insights and actionable information to over 30,000 brands, informing strategic decisions that drive business growth and innovation, and fostering deeper, authentic connections to their end customers
• Our full suite of social media management solutions includes comprehensive publishing and engagement functionality, customer care solutions, influencer marketing, connected workflows, and business intelligence
• This is an exciting opportunity for a leader to come in and have full ownership of our integrations strategy
• Our Product team operates at the intersection of strategy, innovation, customer value, and go-to-market collaboration
• We are focused on delivering unified, data-driven solutions across our multi-product portfolio
• As part of the broader R&D organization, our team collaborates closely with Engineering, Product Design, and Go-to-Market (GTM) teams to create impactful experiences for customers while driving measurable business outcomes
• This cross-functional partnership ensures that our products not only meet technical excellence but are also positioned effectively in the market, aligning with customer needs and business growth objectives
• You won’t just help set the vision for our integration platform, you’ll also play a key role in shaping our overall approach to partner and platform strategy and own both strategy, execution, and outcomes
• Own individual integrations strategy end‑to‑end from pricing and packaging to distribution strategy to GA readiness, including ongoing relationship management with cross‑functional teams
• Partner closely with Engineering to sequence integration investments, balancing near‑term customer/revenue commitments against longer‑term platform scalability
• Define and execute platform‑based integration strategies (e.g., generalized APIs or connectors) that let customers self‑integrate, reducing the need for bespoke builds per vendor
• Serve as the key driver of integration lifecycle management, from alpha and beta through GA and post‑launch scaling, aligning with strategic partners and key customers on roadmap, timeline, and requirements at each stage
• Own permissioning, security, and licensing model decisions for packaged integrations (managed packages, namespace strategy, license management)
• Build the business case and prioritization framework for new integration bets, including clear kill criteria and proof points before scaling investment
• Act as connective tissue between GTM, Partnerships, and Engineering to ensure integration work is commercially viable, not just technically sound
• Drive the execution of “best‑in‑class” product delivery, balancing the urgency of immediate customer needs with the long‑term scalability and innovation of our core
• Within 1 month, you’ll plant your roots, including:
• Completing Sprout Social’s new hire training & onboarding program alongside other new Sprout team members. You’ll gain a broader understanding of our products and how your role fits into the organization

• Participate in architectural discussions and decisions, asking the right questions to guide your team to successful outcomes
• Participating in planning and roadmap processes and helping to shape the product roadmap for long‑term success
• Within 6 months, you’ll be making a clear impact through:
• Becoming an expert in Sprout’s integration ecosystem and confidently speaking to partner strategy, technical tradeoffs, and platform roadmap with internal and external stakeholderS
• Owning the integration roadmap and delivering measurable results on key strategic initiatives
• Identify key opportunities to improve cross‑team collaboration and alignment
• Standing up working cadences to build and deliver on product roadmap and outcomes in partnership with design, engineering, and GTM teams
• Within 12 months, you’ll make this role your own by:

• Continue to evolve Sprout’s product culture, shaping the next generation of product managers
• Surprise us! Use your unique ideas and abilities to change our integration capabilities at Sprout in beneficial ways that we haven’t even considered yet!
